Pantano quickest as 2007 testing begins

Giorgio Pantano has set the quickest overall laptime of the first day of 2007 GP2 series testing at
Circuit Paul Ricard, France. The Italian, driving for the Campos Grand Prix team in 2007, set his
best time towards the end of a rain affected afternoon session which had seen most drivers
remain in their garages for the majority of the post-lunch period.

The morning had seen a greater quantity of action as the teams and drivers made full use of their
time on the familiar 3.853 km "3D" track solution to get used to the new cars. Timo Glock set the
fastest lap in this opening gambit for iSport International.

Tomorrow sees a total change in track layout, with the 4.087km "2A" solution in use to allow the
teams to run aero-mapping tests on the new-for-2007 upgraded aero kit.
